This orientation is concerned with man as a person rather than an „organism”; as being basically growth-oriented, searching for an authentic and meaningful way of human life. The founders of humanistic psychology: Maslow, May, Rogers, Bugental, make emphasis on man as a creative being, controlled not by outside ior unconstious forces but by his own values and choices. Their emphasis is upon the experiencing person, spontaneity, uniqueness, and existential problems. Among the many from whiom they took its inspiration were Goldstein, Angyal, Binswanger, Snygg and Combs. Humanistic image of man, then, is a product of many individual efforts and an assimilation of many ideas, especially of organismic, phenomenological and existential thought.plAttribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Polandhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/pl/człowiekpsychologiapsychologia humanistycznafilozofiahumanizmtradycjatradycja humanistycznabehawioryzmhumanpsychologyphilosophyhumanismtraditionhumanist traditionbehaviourismhumanistic psychologyArticle
